The end is near

Although fearful IM didn't let it show as he said.

IM: So this is the barrier those five spoke of. Remarkable

Ryu: Yea I agree. But that's only a distraction. The real show starts right here.

IM looked over at Ryu and his eye's couldn't help but shrink. Ryu stood there as seven golden chains floated behind him. It wasn't the appearance of Ryu that caused IMs eyes to shrink. It was the death feeling he got from the chains. The more he looked the more that feeling settled.

No matter what he couldn't get caught by those chains.

Ryu: it seems you fear these chains of mine. Good I'm glad you do. Cause what's coming next is gonna make you shit your pants. SEALING CHAINS FLAME BARRIER. CAPTURE THE INTRUDER OF FIGHT ISLAND.

The next moment hundreds no thousands of chains erupted from each barrier wall. Each chain has a red flame attached to it. IM who saw this scene had one thought in mind. 'Escape.' He must escape from this place and never come back was his only thought.

Ryu: Want to escape. Sorry but theirs a seal that locks the space inside the barrier from the outside. If you want to leave you'll have to leave as a corpse.

Holy Land

Be it the celestial dragons or five elders watching this scene they became horrified. IM is their backer and ancestor. Although they have a weapon that can rival the three. That thing can only be used in and around the Holy Land. Watching the powerful ancestor running and flying around desperately they felt each cell tremble in fear.

Sword Elder: We have to send help for Lord IM. Call the damn marines. Have them send Borsalino.

Elder1: Even if he uses his fruit desperately will he even make it

Elder2: It doesn't matter he must make it.

Elder3: AND SHUT OFF THOSE DAMN SNAIL CAMERAS

Elder5: Its bad

Sword Elder: What happened?

Elder5: The WhiteBeard pirates and Roger Pirates are attacking Marine Ford.

SwordElder: DAMMIT

The five elders are desperate. They knew that Atlantis had hacked their communications somehow. But they didn't care. In their hearts Lord IM would win. However from the moment that barrier and chains appeared they too felt the sense of death through the screen.

In this situation they must save face and ensure that if Lord IM falls. That it does not get seen by the rest of the world. The marines could wait. The most important thing is Lord IMs safety.

As for the rest of the world they watched the fight with the two powerhouses. To them if they had to choose who to win then they hoped that it would be Atlantis. Even though not much is known about Atlantis. What is known is the discipline and efficiency of the Soldiers. The power also didn't seem to lose out to the WG.

These two things gave the various franchises a look of hope. As for pirates they didn't care much as it had nothing to do with them. But it did let them see the power of the WG and Atlantis in full.

Atlantis

IM who was sweating and breathing heavily continued to deploy all known skills. Being swarmed by so many of these chains at once put him on edge. He couldn't relax his Observation Haki for a second otherwise he'd be captured. Or worse die.

Feeling the threat of death and his fear overpowering his heart he became enraged. With a shout his strength exploded fully.

The whirlwind knocked back the chains for a second as he rushed towards the land of Fight Island. Ryu seeing this thought of something as he had all the surrounding chains including his own rush at IM. Although there are thousands he could only control the surrounding ones to ensure the speed and strength.

Just an inch away from the diamond ground IM smiled slightly. However the next moment he froze as he felt a tug along with a loss of strength. Looking back his arm and foot are caught by those chains. Trying to use his fruit power he discovered that he couldnt.

Tried Haki and he couldnt. No matter how he tried he couldn't do anything and more are coming. In such a desperate situation just as the other chains are about to grab him IM gritted his teeth.

RIIIIPPPPP

The next moment he disappeared from the area. Ryu looking around soon found him in the sky outside of Atlantis fleeing. As Ryu was about to go after him the guy disappeared completely. Ryu really wanted to kill him. Not for anything but for the space fruit itself.

Drip

Drip

Drip

Drip

Looking over at the sound he smiled. It wasnt all bad. He got an arm and a foot. Not bad. As his chains receded he felt a huge amount of fatigue envelope him. His eye's darkened as he fell unconscious. Before he fell completely a Portal appeared as his body fell inside it.

Three Days Later Atlantis erupted in cheers as Ryu finally woke up. The barrier around Atlantis was still up as they had a banquet to celebrate. Ryu was healed by Sherry and along with his already Uzumaki healing. He was back to normal. He also finally broke through to level 94. He still couldn't beat IM in a one on one unless he used the sealing chains and surrounding barrier seals.

With the news of the WGs loss Atlantis gained huge popularity. The WG tried hard to suppress the matter but everyone saw the fight live. Inside the Holy land IM sat on his throne in anger. A new metal arm and foot have been replaced as the WG took Vegapunk ahead of schedule and had him do it.

IM looked in the direction of Atlantis with both anger and fear. In truth he didn't take Ryu and Atlantis serious at all. That was until those barriers and chains emerged. However the more he thought the more he understood something.

Atlantis was similar to them only they had the ability to create as many powerful people as they wanted. They couldn't use their secret weapon outside of the Holy Land. Atlantis seemed to couldn't use that barrier outside of Atlantis. But IM knew that Ryu seemed to be able to produce his own.

Knowing this he became enraged. Ryu could use a weaker but still threatening and powerful ability without scruples. Why couldn't he do the same. Although he wanted Vegapunk to create some powerful mechanisms. He knew the guy wouldn't and killing him would do more harm than good.

Sighing he knew Ryu wouldn't come to the holy land to settle scores. Although he hoped he would he didn't. He simply had a banquet with his people and showed no sign of attacking. This situation may seem to be the calm before the storm. But he knew. He knew Ryu had no interest in fighting against them.

He could tell as their fight went on. Although he seems to care about his Kingdom. He cares about strength more and only seems to want to be able to ensure Atlantis safety. As for what reason IM didn't know. But he could see Ryu had no intention of being king of the world or ruling it. So what was his ambition is what gave IM a headache.

Not caring anymore he knew this situation wouldn't last and he had no intention of going there again. Ever again. He sent a message to the elders and simply went back to his cottage to enjoy life. That following day Atlantis opened as usual.

3 Days Later

A WG ship sailed towards Atlantis. At this moment a WG agent came and said

WGagent: We would like to purchase some SeaStone, Sea Salt and Tungsten Steel.

The citizens of Atlantis smiled as they looked at each other. They then gave directions to the places that offered those things and went on about their day.

Five Days Later

With the arrival of several royalty and the celestial dragons the Luxury Island and Entertainment Islands income skyrocketed to scary numbers. Grey and Ryu expanded the Ace Division to a hundred members. All of them kids from starving countries. Applied a simple Root seal and left them to train with Laxus and Alex. As for devil fruits he didn't care if they found one and ate it he didn't care.

2 Years Later

December year 1498

At this time Atlantis welcomed a great visitor. A group of Elders of Atlantis showed up. The WhiteBeard pirates came to the shores of Atlantis. They had a few new members aboard the ship. This wasn't a surprise as they've been reading about them in papers. They immediately got escorted to the castle where a banquet awaited them.

WhiteBeard: Gurararararara It's been a long time brat.

Ryu: You aswell old man. It seems you've picked up a few new members. A samurai, his wife and kids, a gunman and 2 minks.

WhiteBeard: Gurarara Its been a good few years what can I say.

Oden: This place is amazing. It's much better than the other places we've been.

Ryu: Hahahaha. Of course. I'll be sure to show you guys around. We have a Luxury Island, Entertainment Island and the favorite place for pirates.

WhiteBeard: Gurarara Fight Island

Oden: Fight Island? An Island for fighting.

Ryu: That's right. You can issue specific challenges and even gamble on who wins. Aside from poison everything else is allowed. We even stage royal rumbles

Oden: Royal Rumbles?
